Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling the final moisture content of a fibrous web, in particular a paper, board or tissue web, during its manufacture in a paper machine with a former section, a press section, a dryer section, a moistening device and a moisture sensor, wherein the moisture in front of the moistening device is regulated by a first web moisture control and the final moisture after the moistening device (5) by a second web moisture control.
  • the invention also relates to a control device for carrying out the method.
  • the known methods and devices of this type are very complex and use at least two measuring frames with humidity sensors for determining the moisture of the fibrous web both before and after the moistening device.
  • the measurement of the moisture before the moistening device is dispensed with. This has the disadvantage that the quality parameters of the fibrous web are subject to fluctuations and the quality of the fibrous web suffers.
  • the object is achieved by a method for controlling the final moisture content of a fibrous web, in particular a paper, board or tissue web, during its production in a paper machine with a former section, a Press section, a dryer section, a moistening device and a humidity sensor, wherein the moisture is controlled before the moistening device by a first web moisture control and the final moisture after the moistening device by a second web moisture control dissolved.
  • the actual value of the moisture of the first web moisture control is determined by a first virtual humidity sensor and the actual value of the final moisture of the second web moisture control after the moistening device is measured by a physical humidity sensor and as a function of a determined by a second virtual humidity sensor virtual actual value of the moisture is controlled in front of the moistening device by changing the moistening effect of the moistening device.
  • the quality of the fibrous web also depends on the moisture level of the fibrous web in front of the moistening device.
  • the moisture of the fibrous web before the moistening device is determined by so-called virtual moisture sensors.
  • the measured quantity determined is not measured directly by means of expensive measuring instruments, but calculated using known process variables.
  • the moisture level of the fibrous web upstream of the moistening device can be adjusted with regard to a constant quality of the fibrous web and also limit the application of water to a minimum. This has the advantage that no drying energy has to be expended for too much applied water.
  • Virtual sensors are often referred to as soft sensors.
  • a soft sensor or virtual sensor can be designed in various ways. It can be based on physical models, statistical models, neural networks or a combination of these models.
  • Another advantage of solution according to the invention lies in a faster stabilization of the moisture profile in the direction of the paper machine. This is particularly advantageous when starting the paper machine or when restarting after a demolition.
  • the moisture control method according to the invention relates to the regulation of the moisture profile of the fibrous web in the machine direction (MD). However, this regulation can be superimposed on a moisture cross profile control (CD).
  • MD machine direction
  • CD moisture cross profile control
  • the first virtual humidity sensor determines the actual value of the humidity (6.01) from the difference between the measured value for the final moisture (6.11) of the physical humidity sensor (6) and the desired value difference from the setpoint value of the final moisture (6.10) after the humidifying device ( 5) and the setpoint of humidity (6.00) in front of the humidifier (5).
  • the advantage lies in the fact that the first web moisture control regulates the humidity (6.01) in front of the moistening device (5) as a control variable, without being affected by the controlled system of the moistening device. This would be the case if the final moisture were used as the control variable.
  • the second virtual humidity sensor determines the virtual actual value of the humidity (6.01) before the humidifying device (5) from the difference between the humidity applied by the humidifying device (5) and the measured value of the final moisture content (6.11) of the physical humidity sensor ( 6).
  • process parameters of the production process in the second web moisture control (2) are used to determine the virtual actual value of the moisture (6.01) before the moistening device (5).
  • the effects of moistening and moisture (6.11) before the moistening device on the quality of the fibrous web at different process parameters in favor of a good and constant quality can be taken into account.
  • a control device for carrying out the method according to claim 1, with a first control unit (10) for controlling the humidity (6.01) before a humidifying device (5) and a second control unit (20) for controlling the Final moisture (6.11) after the humidification device (5) and a physical humidity sensor (6) for measuring the final moisture content (6.11).
  • the device is characterized in that the first control unit (10) is assigned a first calculation unit (15) for calculating a first virtual actual humidity value (6.01) before the humidification device (5), and the second control unit (20) is a second calculation unit (28) for calculating a second virtual actual humidity value (6.01) a humidifying device (5), as well as a connection to the process control system for reading in process parameters.
  • the moistening device is designed as a per se known Düsenbefeuchtungvoriques with a plurality of arranged in rows transversely to the direction of the fibrous web nozzles.
  • a plurality of nozzle rows are provided one behind the other in the running direction of the fibrous web, wherein the nozzles of adjacent rows are arranged offset from one another in the transverse direction. This results in a uniform spray application.
  • the moistening device preferably operates with water and in particular when using multi-substance nozzles, with a water-air mixture. Each nozzle sprays a predetermined amount of water on the fibrous web.
  • the nozzle moistening device may be configured so that each nozzle has the same, constant amount, e.g. Liters per minute, spraying water onto the fibrous web. As a result, the moisture level of the fibrous web is adjusted.
  • the nozzle moistening device is designed such that the water or water-air throughput of the nozzles is adjustable in zones over the width of the fibrous web. As a result, damp streaks in the fibrous web can be corrected. In this case, the zonal different amounts can be superimposed on an adjustable, constant amount.
  • the moistening device may be located inside the dryer section at the end or outside directly after the dryer section.
  • the moisture sensor may be arranged to be stationary or transverse to the running direction of the fibrous web traversing.
  • a part of a paper machine is shown in a schematic representation.
  • the fibrous web is guided by a forming section, not shown, via a press section 3 into and through a drying section 4. Subsequently, it passes through a moistening device 5 before it is wound by the reel 7 to a paper roll.
  • the moistening device 5 is designed as a per se known Düsenbefeuchtungvoriques with a plurality of arranged in rows transversely to the direction of the fibrous web nozzles. Appropriately, a plurality of nozzle rows are provided one behind the other in the running direction of the fibrous web, wherein the nozzles of adjacent rows are arranged offset from one another in the transverse direction. This results in a uniform spray application.
  • the moistening device 5 preferably operates with water and in particular when using multi-substance nozzles, with a water-air mixture. Each nozzle sprays a predetermined amount of water on the fibrous web.
  • the nozzle moistening device may be configured so that each nozzle has the same, constant amount, eg liters per minute, of water on the fibrous web sprayed. As a result, the moisture level of the fibrous web is adjusted.
  • the nozzle moistening device is designed such that the water or water-air throughput of the nozzles is adjustable in zones over the width of the fibrous web. As a result, damp streaks in the fibrous web can be corrected. In this case, the zonal different amounts can be superimposed on an adjustable, constant amount.
  • the moistening device 5 can be arranged inside the dryer section 4 at the end or outside directly after the dryer section 4. Between the reel 7 and the moistening device 5, a moisture sensor 6 is provided for measuring the final moisture content 6.11 of the fibrous web.
  • the moisture sensor may be arranged to be stationary or transverse to the running direction of the fibrous web traversing.
  • two web moisture control systems 1, 2 are provided to regulate the moisture 6.1 of the fibrous web.
  • the first web moisture control 1 With the first web moisture control 1, the moisture 6.0 of the fibrous web before the moistening device 5 is regulated to a predefinable moisture target value 6.0.
  • the first rail moisture control 1 comprises a humidity control 10, which receives a calculated actual moisture value 6.01 from the humidification device 5 from a calculation unit 15.
  • the calculation unit 15 obtains the final moisture actual value 6.11 from the physical humidity sensor 5. In order to obtain this final moisture actual value 6.11, the difference between the final wet setpoint 6.10 and the wet setpoint 6.00 before the humidifier 5 is subtracted from the measured final moisture actual value 6.11.
  • the determination of the humidity setpoint for the humidity control 10 is analogous. In the calculation unit 14, the difference between the final humidity setpoint 6.10 and the humidity setpoint 6.00 is subtracted from the final humidification setpoint 6.10 before the humidification device 5.
  • the second web moisture control 2 regulates the final moisture content 6.1 of the fibrous web.
  • the actual value of the final moisture 6.11 after the moistening device 5 is measured by a physical humidity sensor 6 and regulated in response to a determined by a second virtual sensor virtual actual humidity 6.01 before the moistening 5 by changing the moistening effect of the moistening device 5.
  • the determination of the virtual actual value of the moisture 6.01 before the humidification device 5 takes place in a calculation unit 28 of the control unit 20.
  • the moisture content applied by the humidification device 5 is subtracted from the measured final moisture 6.11. This moisture content is determined by a signal converter 24 from the reported back from the water station 25, actual water consumption and forwarded to the calculation unit 28.
  • process parameters of the manufacturing process from the process control system 27 are taken into account.
  • the effects of moistening and of moisture 6.11 before the moistening device on the quality of the fibrous web at different process parameters in favor of a good and constant quality can be taken into account.
  • one of the process parameters production speed, web width, tear-off information, steam consumption in the dryer section 4, dewatering conditions in the forming section or press section 3, moisture values of the fibrous web in or after the press section 3 or material properties of the fibrous material are used.
  • the difference between the setpoint value of the humidity 6.00 before the humidifying device 5 and the virtual actual value of the humidity 6.01 is calculated before the humidifying device 5 and fed to the controller 22, which contains a ramp function, as the control variable.
  • the output of the Controller 22 is connected to a signal converter 23, which converts the controller signal into a physical throughput (liters per minute) and controls the water station 25 so that the moistening effect of the moistening device 5 is such that the target / actual deviation of the virtual actual value of the moisture 6.01 is reduced or eliminated.
  • the water station may additionally be connected to a transverse profile control unit 26, which activates the nozzles zonally differently for influencing the moisture transverse profile of the fibrous web.
